The business community is a vibrant one, with the five major banks having their regional business centres located in the town. Moree also offers a wide range of very substantial and affordable housing and QantasLink have two daily flights to and from Sydney. It is only a three and a half hour drive from Toowoomba, five hours to Brisbane and seven hours to Sydney. The agricultural industry in the area is world class and the clients of the practice are early adopters and developers of new technology and practices.

Succession planning and future proofing has seen our client's firm present a real and exciting opportunity for an experienced CA/CPA Manager who is committed to regional living. Further to this, for the right candidate, there is a real opportunity to attain partnership within a few short years.

The major focus of this role is client engagement and management. You will be expected to build relationships with the firm's existing progressive and innovative clients, while developing a profile in the local community to assist your transition to the town. However, this is still a very hands on role and it will be expected that the successful candidate will still be involved with all duties of the firm.

The successful applicant will have a minimum of eight years' experience in a public practice environment and be familiar with all aspects of taxation and business advice. A CA or CPA qualification is a minimum. The candidate must also have a commitment to continued professional education and demonstrate a sound technical knowledge to assist the clients of the firm. Above all else, the successful candidate must be able to build meaningful relationships with the firm's clients and ideally, have an affinity with and an understanding of the agricultural industry.

This is an excellent opportunity for an accounting professional to really accelerate their career by gaining knowledge and experiences that are not available in the metro centres. If successful, you will be rewarded with a very generous salary package of at least $120,000 + Super and there may be opportunity for relocation and rental assistance. The value of this salary package is indicative of the importance of the role in the future of the firm.
